I'll take the left eye.
Because you can never have too many eyes.

[TD1]

Lyeos confirmed for spider-man. Ware his webs and baleful collection of left-eyes.

I'd prefer just one pilot, though. I understand having a navigator or gunner, but the two pilots thing is stupid.

Eh they gave a good enough reason for that I was able to handle that what I couldn't handle was shooting at them takes hours to work so we need to punch them to death but the killshot is always some sort of ranged attack anyway it's the sort of movie that works best if you don't think about it but it's also the kind of movie it's hard to avoid thinking about it

What?
Ahem:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Im going to hang that on my wall to remind me to do so

Uh the reason wasn't the efficiency so much as that that the ranged weapons lend to get the Kaiju's toxic blood over everything. Which is bad and therefore should be minimalized

[MetalSlimeHunt]

For me, the "pure iron, no alloys" thing broke my suspension of disbelief. That's not something to brag about, guy.

The common justification I've heard for that line is the concept that unalloyed iron has a neutralizing chemical reaction with Kaiju Blue, reducing the contamination in any involved fight.

Back on track: a Jaeger piloted by myself and either MSH or Barbarossa TSG.

This would be the obvious choice, but a direct neural link could wreak havoc with the time amnesia.

If the point is that pure iron neutralizes whatever poison is in Kaiju blood, then what you want is an iron coating. A thing as tall as a skyscraper, continuously running jumping and fighting, with a pure iron structure, would quickly become a bent wreck.
The reason we can make stuff bigger, lighter and better is that we started putting the entire periodic table* in our iron.

*not really

*walks in thread*
Hmm... The way this is going, this thread should probably be renamed the Pacific Rim discussion thread.
And I honestly have no idea, in regards to the title.

[Heron TSG]

Back on track: a Jaeger piloted by myself and either MSH or Barbarossa TSG.

I read the title and immediately considered myself and Max or RAM, so this probably checks out. Time to go punch some giant things, eh?

[WillowLuman]

I'm honestly curious as to who you people think I'd work with.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

I'm curious who I'd apparently be compatible with too. Would be good to know.

[Samarkand]

Shipping, the material properties of iron, and the correct pronunciation of the word jyaeger...

The only thing those topics will ever have in common is this thread...

Fixed broken bb code

Ha, we dump more than enough toxic shit in our ocean that the Kaiju would have to catch up! Hell, a single nuke was enough to wipe out their civilization, why the hell couldn't we just nuke the kaiju one at a time? We've alread detonated over 2000 nukes on this planet, a few hundred more in a remote region on the planet would be completely forgettable by human civilization.

Tl;dr space aliens, ur invasion a shit

The nuke didn't wipe them out, it just destroyed their rift generator.

Nuking the Kaiju was the initial strategy used, but the Kaiju were quite literally designed to take down human civilization, and as such even the Class I's took multiple nuclear strikes to kill (probably tactical rather than strategic, but still). This was also a problem in that the Kaiju beeline for population centers, meaning you had to nuke them too.

The pre-Jager period of the war was pretty grimdark if you look into it, since people were fleeing not only the giant monsters but their own government dropping nukes on them because they have no other choice. This is why the Jagers are such a symbol of hope, and why the Kaiju adapting to fight them as well is such a big deal.

I'm also curious as to whom others would think I could work with. I myself don't see any possibilities outside of MZ, as I'm sure you all know I'm extremely abrasive.

[Loud Whispers]

Then the victory was pointless and the Kaiju will be back for multiple franchise-spanning sequels.

EXACTLY AS KEIKAU

They all pop up from one rift in a fixed location humanity is all too aware of and can just keep subs, missiles and planes near at all times till the end of time until the alien hippies back in their home planet start complaining about the massive cost on their economy the war is having trying to conquer some backwards ape planet. If a category 5 Kaiju can be hurt by a giant iron sword, a nuke will do wonders.

Nuke the oceans. Sacrifice the pacific cities if you have to, humanity has made direr sacrifices before.

They should've just designed them to shitpost on the internet.

Yeah, pretty much.

Missiles and planes are going to be ineffective at best for something a mile underwater, and subs would resemble their other namesake for Kaiju. Bad weather tends to follow them, too.

Pls no bully.
